Manage and optimize OpenClaw context window usage via partitioning, pre-compression checkpointing, and information lifecycle management. Use when the session...
Usage Guidance
This skill appears to implement what it claims, but before installing: 1) verify that the 'openclaw' CLI exists and behaves as expected (the script runs 'openclaw sessions --active 1'); 2) review and back up your workspace/memory folder because the skill writes/cleans files under $HOME/.openclaw/workspace (or OPENCLAW_WORKSPACE); 3) clarify how '/status' is checked and what exact files will be deleted during compaction; 4) run the scripts in a controlled environment (or inspect them line-by-line) to ensure they don't remove files you need; and 5) ask the skill publisher to add the 'openclaw' binary to required-binaries and to document required permissions and exact cleanup behavior. These steps will reduce the risk of accidental data loss or surprises.
Capability Assessment
Purpose & Capability
The skill's stated purpose (manage/compact OpenClaw agent context) aligns with its files and instructions. However, the provided script invokes an 'openclaw' CLI command even though the skill declares no required binaries — the runtime dependency on an 'openclaw' executable is not documented in the metadata.
Instruction Scope
SKILL.md instructs the agent to write/update workspace files (memory/hot/HOT_MEMORY.md) and to run scripts/gc_and_checkpoint.sh to trigger compaction. That behavior is in-scope for a context-management skill, but the doc is vague about how '/status' is checked, what exact data is removed during 'cleanup', and what permissions are required to modify workspace files.
Install Mechanism
There is no install spec (instruction-only) and the shipped scripts are small and readable. This keeps risk low compared to remote download/install flows, but the local script executes a CLI command (openclaw sessions ...) which implies an external dependency that should be declared.
Credentials
The skill requests no secrets or config paths; it optionally uses OPENCLAW_WORKSPACE (falling back to $HOME/.openclaw/workspace). That is proportional to a memory-management skill. Still, it assumes write access to the workspace directory which should be confirmed.
Persistence & Privilege
The skill is not forced-always and does not request elevated platform privileges. It does instruct modifying files under the agent workspace (its own domain) but does not attempt to modify other skills or global configuration.
How to Use
- Make sure OpenClaw is installed (local or Docker)
- Run the install command in chat:
/install muguozi1-openclaw-context-budgeting - After installation, invoke the skill by name or use
/muguozi1-openclaw-context-budgeting - Provide required inputs per the skill's parameter spec and get structured output
